Your Heart Health

Inherited From: Father
Note: Heart conditions generally run in the family

Your heart health is something you should not take lightly, especially since it is a genetic attribute governed by the genes you inherited from your father. So, if your father has a history of cardiovascular disease or has unstable heart health, you should start taking your own heart health very seriously! According to studies, persons with a specific genetic composition are more likely to have cardiac problems, making it even more important to be aware of your family’s medical history. Prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment deserve far more credit than we currently give them!

Your Birth Weight

Inherited From: Father, Mother
Note: Neonatal development can be genetic

It is typical to believe that a mother’s nutrition and lifestyle choices throughout her pregnancy are the main factors influencing a child’s birth weight. There is little doubt that a mother’s overall health and diet during the neonatal period have a considerable impact on the child’s growth; nevertheless, investigations have demonstrated that genetics have a considerably larger effect than previously thought. As it turns out, the genes inherited by the child from both parents contribute to the baby’s birth weight. As a result, healthy parents who were healthy as infants are more likely to have healthy children with appropriate birth weights.
